How to create a new table from existing table in Excel?

$

I have an existing master table, tbl_A. I need to narrow it down into a new table, tbl_B. tbl_B should only have a selection of tbl_A's columns and filter out some of tbl_A's rows, and any changes made to tbl_A should apply to tbl_B. How can I achieve this?

I've thought about pivot tables, but I don't want to summarizetbl_A or do any numerical analysis on it, I just want to sample from it. I've tried using filter(), but that doesn't make a new table. Since I do want to summarize tbl_B with a pivot table, I'd rather not manually change the bounds for that summary's inputs anytime tbl_A gets a new row.

How can I get this done?


Update: additionally, tbl_B must be on a different sheet than tbl_A, and would preferably be in the same workbook as tbl_A. Power Query can be used with this requirement if I select the current .xslx as the source.

Would that reference break if the filename changes or if the file changes location?
